"Your Majesty, this rebellion was all thanks to the Moonless High Priest. Not only did he lead the army to suppress the rebellion, but he also promised to never investigate this matter. That was how he managed to stabilize the uncontrollable rebel army..."

The Left Minister was afraid that Empress Tian Yu would get angry, so he quickly explained.

"Moonless, you handled this matter very well!"

Empress Tian Yu lightly patted Moonless God's shoulder and said gently.

"Your Majesty, as the chief God Official of the Tian Yu Divine Society, Protecting the country is my duty. However, although I have stabilized most of the vassal states, one-third of the vassal states still forcefully broke away from Sun Moon Empire . They turned to seek refuge in Northern Yuan Empire and China... "Moonless God shook his head expressionlessly and sighed.

Empress Tian Yu was silent for a long time. Then, she said in a deep voice, "You have reduced your losses to the minimum. Even if I am not unconscious, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it better. How many resources are left in the national treasury of Sun Moon Empire ? "

"Your Majesty, the remaining resources in the national treasury of Sun Moon Empire can only support the expenses for a year, even if the entire country is on a diet." The right official replied truthfully.

"Pass on my order, return half of the treasury to Northern Yuan Empire first. Now, Sun Moon Empire can no longer withstand the destruction of the flames of war..." Empress Tian Yu seemed to have made up her mind as she gritted her teeth and said.

Currently, the Sun Moon Empire was in grave danger. She had no strength to continue the conflict with the Northern Yuan Empire, so she could only choose to settle the matter for the time being.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

All of the officials knelt on the ground and shouted at the same time.

Even though everyone felt humiliated, there was nothing they could do.

"Everyone, back down! I want to be alone and quiet for a while..."

Empress Tian Yu's eyes were lifeless as she waved her hand lightly, indicating for everyone to withdraw.

"Your Majesty, take care of your health. All of you will take your leave first."

The right minister slowly stood up and immediately led the hundred officials away like a tide.

"Moonless, you should stay."

Just as Moonless God was about to turn around and leave, empress Tian Yu's weak voice sounded again.

After everyone had left, moonless God walked slowly to Empress Tian Yu's bed and said softly: "Your Majesty, what other orders do you have?"

"Moonless, am I really wrong?"

Empress Tian Yu slowly raised her eyes, but she no longer had the majesty of an emperor. Instead, she looked like a weak woman who had done something wrong.

"Perhaps you really shouldn't have opposed Asura King. However, since things have come to this point, it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. The most important thing right now is to think of a way to save the situation. I don't want Sun Moon Empire to become the second Dansha... "

After the civil and military officials left, moonless God suddenly relaxed in front of Empress Tian Yu. His tone and attitude were not like that between the emperor and his subjects, but more like that of friends.

"You are right. It is indeed meaningless to talk about right and wrong now." Empress Tian Yu stood up with the support of Moonless God. She walked to the window and looked at the blood-red sun in the west. She sighed, "Back then, I had spent a lot of effort to obtain the throne, so I wanted to show my ambition. But I never thought that Sun Moon Empire would decline in my hands. If I had known earlier..."

"Your Majesty, please don't say such disheartening words. The decline of Sun Moon Empire is only temporary, but once you lose the spirit of being an emperor... The Sun Moon Empire is really finished. "

Before Empress Tian Yu could finish her words, shen Wuyue forcefully interrupted her and said with a solemn expression.

"At this point, perhaps there is only one way to save the Sun Moon Empire ..."

Empress Tian Yu slowly stretched out her palm. A blood-red magic stone with strange runes engraved on it lay quietly in her palm.

Although this blood-red magic stone wasn't large, it emitted a terrifying and majestic resentment.

"Could this be the Life-Extermination Stone? Your Majesty, this is..."

Moonless God stared fixedly at the blood-colored Magic Stone that exuded a strange aura as he cried out in alarm.1

" That's right, this is the Life-Extermination Stone. To tell you the truth, the reason why I was able to obtain the Imperial Throne back then was all because of this Life-Extermination Stone." Empress Tian Yu's gaze was empty, as though she was recalling old matters that she was unwilling to recall.

"Didn't the legend say that the Life-Extermination Stone had long been destroyed? Why is it in His Majesty's hands..." Moonless God said with a puzzled expression.

"This is just a rumor. The Life-Killing Stone has always been controlled by the emperors of Sun Moon Empire . The reason why that lord was willing to support me in taking the throne was because he wanted to obtain this Life-Killing Stone. However, after I took the throne, I didn't let that lord do as he wished..." Empress Tian Yu's gaze was distant as she spoke indifferently.

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of a country in Sun Moon Empire . Who is it that can make you so afraid?"

Seeing Empress Tian Yu's secretive look, moonless God was even more puzzled.

As the monarch of the Sun Moon Empire , empress Tian Yu was very careful when mentioning this person. It could be seen that his strength and power had reached a terrifying level.

"The less you know about this, the better. I can only tell you one thing. That lord is in a big kingdom..." Empress Tian Yu shook her head. She frowned.

"The Great Jiang Prefecture!"

Moonless God's pupils suddenly narrowed as he said with a frightened expression.

Big Jiang Shan was the origin of Flower of Evil. Although Empress Tian Yu didn't say it explicitly, moonless God already had some guesses in his heart.

A figure that could make Empress Tian Yu feel such fear must be one of the four Devil Kings of the Great Jiang Mountain.

However, even amongst the Four Great Ghost Kings, there were strong and weak ones. The most powerful and mysterious one was the demon beast that had once caused chaos in the imperial court...

"Wu Yue, I have to make a trip to the Great Jiang Prefecture in the near future. If I can't make it back, I'll have to rely on you for the Sun Moon Empire ." Empress Tian Yu suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, what nonsense are you saying?"

Moonless God's eyes were as wide as copper bells as he spoke in terror.

"Back then, the reason why that Lord supported me to ascend the throne was to obtain the Life-Extermination Stone. Unfortunately, I deceived her." Empress Tian Yu remained calm. After a moment of silence, she said, "Do you know why I insisted on capturing the Nine-Tailed Empress?"

"I don't know..."

Moonless God's eyes were still somewhat unfocused. Clearly, he had yet to recover from his shock.

"Because the Nine-Tailed Monarch Empress is the key to that lord's revival. I don't want to become a puppet emperor. That's why I've tried my best to capture the Nine-Tailed Monarch. It's fine if I can't kill her, but unfortunately, it's against my wishes. You know what happens after this... " Empress Tian Yu sighed helplessly.

"Your Majesty, is the lord you mentioned so terrifying that he could make you so afraid of him even when he's far away in the great world?" Moonless God asked.

"You have never come into contact with him before, so it is only natural that you do not understand him. Don't think that my words hold weight in Sun Moon Empire . In fact, it still depends on the expression of that lord. She's the one who controls the fate of Sun Moon Empire behind the scenes... " Empress Tian Yu said with a serious expression.

"In that case, everything you do is to get rid of that lord's control?" Moonless God gradually reacted and said softly.

"That's right. Everyone says that I shouldn't have colluded with the Flower of Evil and turned Sun Moon Empire into a kingdom of demons and devils. But they didn't know that I had my own difficulties. How could I be willing to do so? I just couldn't help it... " Empress Tian Yu smiled bitterly and sighed.

"Your Majesty, when do you plan to leave?" Moonless God asked softly.

"Time is of the essence. We will depart tonight!" Empress Tian Yu's eyes lit up. After thinking for a moment, she instructed: "However, this matter must be kept a secret. This is the Imperial Decree of the Heavenly Emperor. During my absence, I will leave all the big and small matters in Sun Moon Empire to you..."

"Understood!"

Half kneeling on the ground, god Moonless solemnly received the Heavenly Imperial Decree with both hands.
